All Reviews for Kabira Bay

If you check the time properly and take action, it's the best ticket. It costs more than the ticket price for a round trip to the northernmost cape, but this ticket will cover it.

きちんと時間を調べて行動すれば最高のチケットです。最北端の岬往復でチケット代以上かかりますがそれがこのチケットで間に合います。

The arrival at Ishigaki Airport and the issuance of the one-day bus pass purchased at the bus stop went very smoothly, and I arrived at the island terminal as scheduled!

石垣空港に到着からバス停で今回購入の1日バス乗車券発券まで非常にスムーズで離島ターミナルまで予定通り到着！

The weather was unfortunate, but it was a fulfilling tour. There were only a few of us that day, which gave it a private feel. Thank you to the guide for your thoughtfulness. This was my first trip in May, and indeed, Okinawa is ideal before the rainy season. Next time, I will definitely plan a trip by April.

お天気は残念でしたが、充実したツアーでした。当日は少人数でプライベート感有　ガイドさんお気づかい　ありがとうございました。
今回は初めての5月の旅行　やはり沖縄は梅雨入り前が理想的　次回は必ず4月までの旅行　計画たてます。

I think a bus tour that includes the attractions of Ishigaki Island, including Kabira Bay, is perfect for travelers who are unfamiliar with the island. Additionally, I used it on the last day, and it was possible to get off at Ishigaki Airport along the way, which allowed me to make full use of my time on the final day.

川平湾を含む石垣島の見所をバスツアーでまわれるので、島に不慣れな旅行者にはぴったりだと思います。
また、最終日に利用させていただき、途中石垣空港で下車も可能だったので、最終日の時間をフルに有効活用出来ました。

Initially, we planned to do stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) at Kawahira Bay, but due to high waves, we ended up at Miyara River instead. It was a lot of fun! We got caught in the rain, but since you get wet while paddleboarding anyway, I highly recommend experiencing it on a rainy day! Our guide, Mr. Tsuchiya, was handsome and comes highly recommended! 👍

当初は川平湾でsup予定でしたが高波の影響で宮良川でのsupとなりましたが楽しかったです。雨に振られましたが、supで濡れるので雨の日こそ体験しちゃった方がいいくらいのオススメ度です！土屋さんというガイドさん、イケメンでオススメです👍

The weather was unfortunate, but we were able to efficiently tour Ishigaki. It was a sightseeing experience rich in essence. The bus guide's explanations deepened our understanding of Ishigaki.

あいにくの天気でしたが、効率よく石垣を観光できました。エッセンスが濃縮された観光でした。バスガイドさんの解説も石垣の理解を深めました。

Unfortunately, the weather was not great, but the water was beautiful. We were able to stop at a point, and the staff member explained things to us. We got to see various things. However, since I was seated at the back on the first ride, I could hardly hear the staff member's explanations. The smell of gasoline was quite strong, so wearing a mask is necessary.

What I was dissatisfied with was that I arrived earlier than my reservation time, and I wasn't sure how to check in. They said that those with reservations could go first, but the staff member didn't say anything and just told us to line up there because it wasn't time yet. I was confused about where to stand since there were so many people in line, and I couldn't tell which line was for what.

I was unsure where to line up, so I asked, "Should I stand at the very back?" and they said, "Okay, I'll check you in next, so please wait." Then, when I was checked in, I was given an earlier time. I didn't even ask for an earlier time, and the ticket seller's response was quite unpleasant. They were lacking in communication. I understand they might be busy, but I wish they would listen to each person's words properly. Their attitude was definitely not very friendly either.

あいにくの天気でしたが
海の中は綺麗で、ポイントに止まってもらえて、お兄さんが説明してくれていました。
色々と見ることができました。
ただ、最初に乗って奥の端の席だったので
お兄さんの説明がほぼ聞こえない。
ガソリンの匂いがすごくてマスクは必要ですね。
不満だったのは、予約時間よりも早く着いて
受付の仕方が良くわからなかったのですが
予約有りの方は先にどうぞ、だったのですが
受付の方は何も言わずに、時間がまだなのでそこに並んでくださいと言われ、そこ？
沢山のひとが並んでどこが何の列がかわからない。
と思いながら並ぶ場所がわからず
どこに並べば良い？
1番後ろ？ですか？
て聞いたら、じゃあ次に受付するから
待って下さい、、
そして次に受付したら早い時間を渡されました。
別に早くして欲しいとは言っていないのに
チケット売り場の方の対応が気分悪かったです。言葉が足らな過ぎます。
忙しいとは思いますが
一人一人ちゃんと、こちらの言葉を聞いて欲しいです。
愛想も決して良くはなかったです。

On May 3rd, I participated with my family of three. It was a bus tour where I was impressed by the vast knowledge of our guide, Sunakawa. The explanations were easy to understand, and both the songs and the sanshin performance were wonderful. We experienced the mysteries of nature in the limestone cave, and on the glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay (additional fee), we were able to see sea turtles, schools of grouper, and colorful tropical fish.

5/3に家族3人で参加。
ガイドの砂川さんの知識量の多さに感服しながらのバスツアーでした。
説明も分かりやすく、歌も三線も素晴らしいものでした。
鍾乳洞で自然の神秘に触れ、川平湾のグラスボート（別途料金）ではウミガメやグルクンの群れ、カラフルな熱帯魚達をみることが出来ました。

Since I arrived quite early before my reserved time, I asked if I could be accommodated earlier, and they kindly agreed. Perhaps because it was just before Golden Week, the boat wasn't full, so there was plenty of space inside. I could see corals and fish through the large glass screen. The sea was a bit murky, but I was lucky enough to spot a sea turtle and a clownfish.

予約時間よりかなり早く着いたので時間を早めてもらうお願いをしたら、快く了解いただけました。GW直前だからか満員ではなかったため船の中も余裕があり、大画面ガラスで珊瑚や魚が見えました。少し海が濁り気味だったのですが、ウミガメやカクレクマノミも見つけることが出来てラッキーでした。

I signed up on-site, and it was really a great deal! ♪ It's easy since you just have to show it. If you're not using a rental car, taking the bus is a must, so I definitely recommend it! ❤️

現地で申し込みしましたが、本当にお得でした♪
さらに見せるだけなので簡単。
レンタカー使用しない方はバス必須なので、絶対おススメ❤️

- The guide was beautiful and had a great singing voice, singing island songs accompanied by the sanshin.
- The limestone cave was quite spacious and impressive.
- At Kabira Bay, we experienced the optional glass-bottom boat, where the person steering also acted as a guide, providing explanations as we went along. The photos only show coral, but there were schools of colorful fish of various sizes, including clownfish, which we could observe closely.
- For lunch, we had a set with Ishigaki beef hamburger, and unlike store-bought ones, the hamburger had a strong meaty flavor.
- At Tamatorizaki Observatory, we were able to fully enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree views.

If you use it on the last day, you can get off at the airport at the end. Since it's a limousine bus, you can participate with your suitcase. If I could wish for something, I would have liked to include a visit to Yaeyama Village to interact with the macaques, and it would be nice if the course were about an hour longer.

・ガイドさんが美人で歌も上手く、島唄を三線にのせて歌ってくださいました。
・鍾乳洞は結構広くて見応えありました。
・川平湾ではオプションのグラスボートを体験、操縦する方がガイドもされていて説明を聞きながら進みます。写真は珊瑚しか写ってないですが、色とりどり、大きさも様々な魚群、クマノミもいて、じっくりと観察ができました。
・昼食は石垣牛のハンバーグランチセットで、ハンバーグは市販のと違い、お肉をしっかり感じるものでした。
・玉取崎展望台は360度見渡す限りの絶景を心ゆくまで堪能できました。

最終日に利用すると最後に空港で下車できます。
リムジンバスなのでスーツケース持参で参加可能。
欲を言えば、やいま村、リスザルと触れ合う、などもコースに入ってあと1時間くらい長いといいな、と思いました。

The guide was an incredibly knowledgeable woman, and her smooth articulation was as fluid as water on a flat board. Despite the rainy, cloudy weather, she shared the island's history and many fun events with us. The half-day itinerary felt very short.

実に博識な女性のガイドさんで、まさに立板に水の様に滑らかな滑舌は、雨混じりの曇天にも関わらず島の歴史や沢山の楽しい出来事を教えていただいた。半日の行程がすごく短く感じられた。

Even without a car, you can visit the highlights of Ishigaki and make a complete loop. Also, being dropped off at Ishigaki Airport made it very efficient in terms of time.

車か無くても石垣の見どころを見学し1周できます
又、石垣空港で下ろして頂けるので時間の効率が良かったです

The bus driver seemed a bit irritable, which was a little concerning for someone using the service for the first time.

バスの運転手さんの虫の居所が悪かったのかぶ然としていたので、初めて利用する者としてはちょっと気になった。

The lunch included is rich in content for the price. The guide's explanations were also easy to understand. This is my third time in Ishigaki Island, but since I had been moving around by rental car before, listening to the guide's stories while touring offered a different charm.

The sanshin performance during the bus ride was challenging, but both the performance and the songs in the local dialect were very well done, and above all, the voice was beautiful 🎤👧🏼.

The glass-bottom boat at Kabira Bay is an additional fee for those who wish to go, but it's cheaper than the general price with the bus tour discount. Last time I visited, I couldn't see any sea turtles, but this time I was thrilled to see many of them ✨.

値段の割に昼食付きで内容も豊富。ガイドさんの説明も分かりやすくかったです。
石垣島は3回目ですが、今まではレンタカーで移動してたので、ガイドさんの話を聞いて巡るのは違った魅力を感じました。
バスの揺れの中での三線演奏、大変そうですが、演奏も方言での歌もとても上手で、何より声が美しかった🎤👧🏼
川平湾のグラスボートは希望者のみ別料金ですが、バス観光割で一般料金より安いです。
前回行った時は海がめは見れなかったのですが、今回はたくさん見れて感激しました✨

It will be more economical than purchasing a regular ticket. You can ride all routes on the island, so on holidays, take the island loop line (available in both east and west directions) and enjoy the scenery.

However, this does not include the regular sightseeing bus.

だだし定期観光バスは、除きます。

On the day of our return, we initially had a rental car reserved, but we found out that the meeting point for the regular sightseeing bus was near the hotel we were staying at, and that we could get off at the airport along the way, so we canceled the rental car. We were able to visit places we couldn't go to during the trip, like Kabira Bay and Tamatorizaki Observatory, through the bus tour, which allowed us to efficiently explore on the last day, and it was a lot of fun.

　帰る日に当初はレンタカーを予約しておりましたが、宿泊予定していたホテル近くが定期観光バスの集合場所で、空港で途中下車できる事がわかり、レンタカーはキャンセルしました。
　旅行中に行けなかった川平湾や玉取崎展望台にもバスツアーで行け、最終日に効率よく廻れ、楽しかったです。

Ishigaki Island can be difficult to catch a taxi. For those with plenty of time, using the bus is recommended.

Round trip from the city to the airport is 1,120 yen.

Using the Kabira, Ibaruma, Hirakubo lines, and the island loop line offers good cost performance.

There are also discounts for riding the Anei Kanko Ferry.

石垣島は、タクシーがつかまりにくいです。ゆっくり時間がある方には、バス利用がおすすめです。

市内〜空港往復　1120円
川平、伊原間、平久保線、島内一周線を
利用したらコスパ良い。

安栄観光フェリーの乗車割引もあります。

Typically, the Chikusa Free Pass can only be purchased with cash during the ride or at the bus terminal. However, by going through Veltra, credit card payment is possible. You can also earn points with the credit card company.

Additionally, the children's fare will be 1,000 yen.

We were able to take our time at each highlight and explore at a relaxed pace. We also enjoyed a delicious lunch. The guide's performance on the sanshin was a live rendition, which was powerful and left a strong impression.

それぞれの見どころでの見学の時間もゆったりと取っていただき落ち着いて回ることができました。お昼ご飯も美味しく頂きました。ガイドさんの三線は、いわゆる生の演奏なので、迫力もありとても印象に残りました。

I was able to travel very reasonably! I'm grateful for the infrastructure!! (*^_^*) All the drivers were kind and accommodating.

とてもリーズナブルに移動できました！
インフラに感謝です！！(*^_^*)
どのドライバーさんも優しく対応してくださいました。

For tourists with time, traveling by bus is a good option.

The reason is that it's hard to catch a taxi in Ishigaki Island.

Using a 5-day free pass is cost-effective. It's 1,120 yen for a round trip from the city to the airport.

時間がある観光客の方は、バスでの移動が良い。

理由、石垣島は、タクシーがつかまりにくい。

5日間フリーパス利用でコスパ良い。
市内〜空港往復で1,120円だから。

This time, I purchased and printed the tickets at home in advance. Although it says you can just show the screen, I felt it would be better to hand the printed tickets to the driver, based on my experience last time.

Even though it says you can use it for 24 hours from the start, I wondered how to manage the time, but it turns out that the exchanged free pass has the date and time printed on it.

Since I don't have a car, it was convenient to use it for my usual shopping when going out alone.

It feels a bit cumbersome to take the free pass in and out of my wallet when getting on and off, so I'm thinking of finding a more convenient method by the next time I ride.

今回は予め自宅で購入し、印刷したものを持って行きました。画面を見せればいいと書いてあるものの、運転手さんには印刷したものをお渡しした方が分かりいいかと、前回感じたからです。

利用開始から24時間使えると言っても、どうやって時間管理するのかと思ったら、交換したフリーパスに月日と時間が入るということでした。

車を持っていないので、1人で出かけるには、普段のお買い物に使えるのは便利でした。

乗り降りの時にフリーパスを財布から出し入れするのは面倒な感じがするので、次に乗るときまでに何か便利な方法を考えようかと思います。

I was able to enjoy Ishigaki Island even without a car. I was able to go to all the places I wanted to, and 2000 yen for five days is a great deal. I recommend it for those who want to go to distant places.

車なしでも石垣島楽しめました。
行きたいところ行けたし、
5日2000円はお得です。
遠いとこ行く方にはおすすめ

Generally, you can only purchase with cash, but at Veltra, you can buy with a credit card! Moreover, you can also use coupons, making it a great deal for purchasing passes. The tickets themselves are inexpensive, which is a big help for travel enthusiasts.

原則現金でしか買えませんが、ベルトラではクレジットカードで購入可能です！
しかもクーポンも利用出来て、お得にパスを購入できます。
チケット自体が安いので、旅好きには助かります。

Although the number of routes is limited, there are options to go around the island and to Hirakubo Cape. Just going from Ishigaki city to Hirakubo Cape was worth it. The free pass exchange voucher can be purchased on the day, so it's best to buy it a little before you plan to use it.

本数は少ないですが、島一周線や平久保崎へ行くルートがあります。
石垣市街地から平久保崎まで行くだけで元が取れました。
フリーパスの引換券は当日購入可なので、利用の少し前に購入するのが良いでしょう。

Due to the weather and the number of participants, we switched from SUP + snorkeling at Cape Kawaiwa to mangrove SUP. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed at first, but it turned out to be incredibly fun!

Akiyama, our guide, kept the atmosphere lively and engaged with us, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the experience throughout✨. Thanks to that, I was able to naturally converse with other guests, and the overall vibe of the tour was really great! The time spent leisurely moving through the mangroves was also very pleasant, and it turned out to be a fantastic experience in its own right🌿. Although the plan changed, it became a wonderful memory! Thank you so much😊.

天候と催行人数の関係で、川平湾でのSUP＋青の洞窟シュノーケリングからマングローブSUPに変更になりました。
正直ちょっと残念だなーと思っていたのですが、結果めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです！

担当してくださった秋山さんがずっと明るく話しかけてくださって、場を盛り上げてくれたおかげで終始リラックスして楽しめました✨
そのおかげで他のお客さんとも自然に会話ができて、ツアー全体がすごくいい雰囲気だったのも印象的でした！
マングローブの中をゆったり進む時間もすごく気持ちよくて、これはこれで大当たりでした🌿
変更になったけど、むしろ良い思い出になりました！ありがとうございました😊

I realized this time that it costs over 1,000 yen one way just to go from my home to the city, so I should use this for regular trips. Without knowing this, I used a touch payment for the outbound trip and took advantage of the one-day free pass for the return. From next time, I want to make sure to use it for the outbound trip as well.

自宅から街中へ行くだけで片道千円以上かかるので、普段使いで使うべきということが今回分かりました。そうと知らずに片道はタッチ決済で乗ってしまい、帰りはこの1日フリーパスを利用しました。次回からは行きの時点で使うようにしたいと思います。

Finally got to try SUP at Kawahira Bay. The wind blowing down from the mountains was strong, making it difficult to maintain balance, but I was able to glide smoothly over the water. Even if I fell into the sea, I felt safe wearing a life jacket. The instructor was very attentive, so even beginners can give it a try!

*The photo is of the scenery at Kawahira Bay, which is different from the location where we did SUP.

念願の川平湾でのSUP。
山から吹き下ろす風が強く、バランスを取るのが大変でしたが、気持ち良く海の上を進むことができました。海に落ちてしまっても、ライフジャケットを着ているので安心です。
インストラクターが丁寧に教えてくれるので、初心者の方でもチャレンジできます！

※写真はSUPを実施する場所とは異なる川平湾の風景です。
